Detail

I recommend this knee walker because it is affordable, steerable, has a short turning radius and is only 16.5 inches wide, so its fits through any doorway or hallway. The contoured leg pad keeps your leg steady on the seat and can be accessed from either the right or left side. Brakes on both handles allow you to easily stop the walker quickly and lock it in a stable position if needed.

The Drive DV8 Knee Walker is an ideal alternative to crutches for individuals recovering from foot surgery, breaks, sprains, amputations, and ulcers of the foot. The thick, comfortable leg pad has a channel to provide stability and security. This knee walker can be steered for increased maneuverability on both indoor and outdoor surfaces, and both the platform height and the handle height can be adjusted to comfortably fit the user. It has dual deluxe lever brakes that ensure safety. The Drive DV8 Steerable Knee Walker makes getting around easy!

2 stars, Outdoors: like riding a jackhammer
By NYC foot and ankle from New York, NY on 2013-11-08
Pros: Alternative To Crutches, Good On Smooth Floors
Cons: Unstable, Bruises Your Knee Shin, Bad Steering, Bad On Uneven Sidewalk, Bumpy, Easy To Capsize
Best Uses: Can Go Grocery Shopping
This model of the knee walker ended up being a let down. On sidewalks with seams (I.e. every 3-4 feet), you hit a bump. It's like riding a jackhammer. I ended up with bruises on my knee and shin from the pressure, plus all the terrible speed bumps. The only time this worked better than crutches was for grocery shopping (where on crutches, you don't have any extra free hands). This model has bad wheels (braking system not very smooth nor effective), and no offset knee pad. So it's even more awkward than it needs to be. Be very careful with any kind of downhill, and if the sidewalk is wet. It was clunky on the bus, and should never be used on a subway.

3 stars, Just be careful with it!

Pros: Easier Than Crutches
Cons: Tips easily, Terrible Turning Radius, Rolls Away Easily, Unstable On Uneven Ground
Please practice on this before surgery if you can. It is hard to get the hang of it. At first it is very helpful to have assistance. I took mine to a bicycle shop - great thing to do. They adjusted the height to help with my shoulders and hips. They adjusted the brakes and the entire unit. Be sure to check the brakes - be VERY careful in the rain. Be EXTREMELY careful going DOWN a wheelchair ramp. This thing can pick up speed fast. Take small steps with your good foot and bring the bad side to you while holding on to the brakes! HORRIBLE turning radius. Hard to manuever on plush carpeting. Use a small fanny pack or messenger bag to hang off the brake handles to carry anything. It needs a basket or cup holder. It NEEDS a parking brake. If you let go it will roll away from you. BUT, it beats the heck out of crutches

3 stars, Tips easily
By Moe from Chemung, NY on 2012-08-16
Pros: Elevates injury, Very helpful, No hopping, Easier to get around with
Cons: Watch for uneven ground, Tips easily
Best Uses: After 3 foot surgeries
with a walker I needed to hop to get around, not with this knee walker, it's a lot smoother getting from one place to another. Must be careful to approach cracks in sidewalks etc evenly with both front wheels or it tips over. Also, be careful of stones and debris in the roads/sidewalks. Works best indoors on carpet and even floors.

5 stars, Great Mobility
By 70 and going from Sac,CA on 2012-03-09
Pros: Stability, Light Weight, Smooth movement
Cons: Drive logo wrong place
Best Uses: Grocery shopping
Love my Drive it allows me to continue with my life & chores on reg. bases. The Drive logo was a little sharp on my knee cap but I also found my shin bones getting tender so I added a piece of foam to the seat as padding works great. I share my knee walker info. with everyone. So much better than the idea of crutches and the Dr. said we heal better when using your product & I agree.
